Success in business is based on integri-

ageouS effort is always
WORTHY OF HIGH PRAISE.
and deserves our admiration. Such sue
cess is that of Col. Taylor, and we re-
joice in his prosperity. He evidently
took for his motto the familiar maxim at
tributed to Gen. Banks, that success is
aduty." [Cheers.l Mr.. Dana said there
were three wonderful things: 1.-The first
thing is beautiful woman. The second
is thoroughbred stallion, and the third
is fighting man." His preference was
for a fighting editor, and he believed
Boston had one in Col. Taylor. The
speech of the evening was made by
Howard. and abounded in sharp and
witty illusions to journalism and poll
tics. The whole affair was a success
and beyond doubt the greatest COM
pliment ever rendered to an editor.
